GALLERY CALAPOOIA TO HOST THIRD ANNUAL
“BIG SHOW OF LITTLE ART”
F
rom Tuesday, January 28 through Saturday February 22, Gallery Calapooia in Albany, Oregon will host its third annual “Big Show of Little Art”, a community event that is becoming a favorite Albany tradition. About 120 original works of art will be displayed, each no larger than 8 X 8 inches. A variety of media are accepted, including two-dimensional work like paintings, drawings, and photography, and three-dimensional pieces like ceramics, woodwork, textiles, jewelry and sculpture. The small-size format allows many pieces to be displayed and creates a wonderful tapestry of color and imagination. The huge range reflects our community’s interests, values and ideas, our attachment to our natural environment and our connections to one another. Participating artists have come from all over the Willamette Valley to enter. The show offers an opportunity for artists of all ages and skill levels to display and sell their creations. Some participants are professional artists while, for others, this will be first time they have shared their work. Members of Gallery Calapooia will also participate by offering 8 X 8 creations of their own. All of the artwork in the show is for sale, giving everyone an opportunity to find a one-of-a-kind treasure or a special Valentine. The public is invited to enjoy a fun evening opening reception celebrating the participants of this year’s “Big Show of Little Art” on Friday, February 7 from 6 - 8 pm. In keeping with the Albany Downtown Association’s First Friday Valentine event, the gallery will offer a special selection of chocolate goodies, as well as beer and wine. Says Gallery Calapooia President, Susan Bourdet, “When we opened the gallery doors for the first time in 2013, we were
Susan Bourdet
proud and excited to offer our work for sale. Over the seven years we’ve been in business, we’ve seen Gallery Calapooia evolve into a meeting place for art lovers from all over Oregon.

Gallery Calapooia, located in the Historic Flinn Block at 222 West First Avenue in Albany, is a nonprofit cooperative of 21 area artists and is open Tuesday through Saturday 11a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 541-971-5701 or visit the gallery website at www.gallerycalapooia.com www.willametteliving.com

School's Out For Summer, Now What?
How to Choose a Summer Camp Your Kids Will Love and That You Approve By Kimberly Blaker
Whether you're looking for enrichment for your child, a way to keep your kids occupied and supervised while you work, or need a short reprieve from parenting, there's sure to be a summer camp that's the right fit for your child and family. The benefits of summer camp Summer camp offers kids plenty of benefits, and many kids thrill at the idea of going away to summer camp. Still, for some kids, particularly those who are shy, introverted, or homebodies, the thought of going away for a night, let alone a week or more, can cause considerable anxiety. When kids are adamantly opposed, forcing summer camp on them may not be in their best interest. But for kids who are eager – or at least willing to give it a shot without much fuss – summer camp offers opportunities kids may not have elsewhere. Summer camp provides kids the following benefits: • fosters independence • a place to develop lasting friendships • development of new skills
What is the purpose of sending your child to summer camp? Do you want a resident (overnight) or a day camp? Are you looking for a short-term (week or two) or summer-long program?
What are the staff's qualifications?
Do you want a camp that's very structured or one that provides your child with lots of freedom and choices?
Many summer camps use teens to staff the camps. Teens make excellent mentors and can bring liveliness to summer camp programs. However, the programs themselves should be developed by professionals and have professional oversight to ensure kids are getting the most from their camp experience.
What are your child's passions, such as a particular sport, hobby, or other interest? Once you've narrowed down some of the criteria, you can begin your search. Many summer camps advertise in localpublications found at newsstands and online. Also, visit www.summercamps. com, where you can search by zip code or category.
"But do keep your child's choices in mind to ensure your child gets the most out of summer camp."
• discovery of new interests and hobbies • the opportunity for creative expression • a break from being plugged-in • daily exercise • improves their self-esteem • teaches kids to work with others • makes them feel part of a community • prevents or reduces summer learning loss Getting started in your search Before you begin looking into summer camps, create a list of the criteria you're looking for. Here are some things you'll want to consider. What is your budget for summer camp?
14
Once you and your child have narrowed the list down to a manageable selection, you'll want to investigate the camps further. There are several things you'll want to consider.
The American Camp Association (ACA) accredits summer camps. So this is another excellent place to look. The ACA educates camp owners and directors in health and safety for both staff and campers as well as program quality. It then accredits camps that meet the ACA's standards. Next steps to finding the perfect summer camp Once you've selected a few summer camps that meet your primary criteria, and that fit your child's interests, share the choices with your child to see what excites him or her. Be sure to let your child know upfront that you still need to thoroughly investigate the camp(s) before making a final decision. But do keep your child's choices in mind to ensure your child gets the most out of summer camp.
Willamette Living Magazine February / March 2020
How does the camp ensure your child's safety? Find out what kind of safety training the camp provides its staffers. Also, is there staff on hand at all times that knows CPR? What are the camp's procedures in the event your child becomes ill, has an accident, or an emergency? What is the daily schedule for campers? Ask for a daily itinerary, so you know your child will be getting everything you and your child anticipate from the program. What are the rules? Each camp has its own set of rules. So, find out whether your child is allowed to call you. If it's a summer-long residential camp, can parents come and visit? Can kids bring along a cell phone or electronics? Also, how much money can they bring, and how is it managed? Don't sweat it Keep in mind, although there are many great camps, no camp is likely to offer everything precisely the way you want it. Just choose the one that best fits your child and satisfies your most important criteria. Remember, your child will have many summers to come and plenty more opportunities to work in more exciting camp experiences.

Summer Camp
Ultimook Running Camp rugged beauty, old-school grit By Chelsea Yarnell
Each summer nearly 300 athletes from 18 different states flock to the Tillamook Coast to attend the Ultimook Running Camp at Patrick Zweifel’s farm.
“We offer a unique training environment with the best runs on the Oregon Coast. It’s much different than a college campus which is the normal venue for a running camp,” Zweifel said.
And it’s about more than just running.
Camp-goers will be coached by experienced running experts who have coached athletes and teams to state championships, and a few have competed in the Olympic Trials themselves. Campers’ running abilities range from elite to beginner, and each are treated to individualized training plans that complement their fitness levels.
“Our goal is that everyone leaves with more confidence than when they arrived,” Zweifel said. “I also believe that our emphasis on character development and leadership training is a real advantage. I’m sure that nearly all kids leave with a greater love for the sport of cross country and excited about the upcoming season because of the unique culture they are exposed to at the Ultimook.” Zweifel is currently the head cross country and track and field coach at Tillamook High School. He also owns the Hydrangea Ranch, one of Oregon’s premier flower farms, adjacent to the Kilchis River and surrounded by the Tillamook State Forest, where the Ultimook Running Camp is hosted.
16
Willamette Living Magazine February / March 2020
“Nearly every run has a range of distance and difficulty,” Zweifel said. “We also follow a hard/easy approach with one day being challenging and the next day recovery. The end result is a challenging week of training just prior to the start of the cross country season.” The ‘Sasquatch Games’ are a unique highlight of the camp and a reason to sign up a whole cross country team.

“Teams compete in activities including: the log carry relay, tug-ofwar, chocolate milk mile, and glow stick relays,” Zweifel said. “There is nothing more bonding for a team than participating in that.”
For more information and to register for camp, visit the Ultimook Running Camp at www.ultimookrunningcamp.oregoncoastalflowers.com
In between training sessions, athletes gain valuable insight from guest speakers. Speakers in the past have included high school phenom Melody Fairchild, and Jim White, the McFarland coach who inspired the Hollywood movie McFarland, USA.
The Hydrangea Ranch is located at 9455 Kilchis River Road, Tillamook, Oregon 97141
“We focus heavily on character development and leadership training,” Zweifel said. “It is really important to me to help build character in young athletes. Cross country is one of the perfect tools to aid in this teaching.” In 2020, co-ed Ultimook Camp has two sessions scheduled for July 26-August 1 and August 2-August 8. A special addition this year is Melody Fairchild Girls Running Camp July 5-July 10, 2020. “This camp will take a comprehensive approach to life and running, addressing the unique issues adolescent girls face in today’s culture, as well as the latest research on training and nutrition,” Zweifel said. Group rates are offered for teams. Coaches with five or more athletes attending are eligible to partake in the camp for free. “These coaches will take part in camp activities and we frequently hold panels with multiple coaches participating,” Zweifel said.

People are weird—and when two people fall in love, they get even weirder. Case in
point: When Brooke Barker, creator of the New York Times bestselling book and Instagram account Sad Animal Facts (with more then 400k followers), met her husband Boaz Frankel, they discovered that not only do they bring out the best in each other, but also the very weirdest parts, leading to the peculiar habits, routines, traditions, and inside jokes that make their relationship so enduring. Brooke and Boaz’s book is a celebration of this universal phenomenon, featuring a collection of funny diagrams and charts, mini-comics, quirky lists and facts, and more joyfully bizarre oddments that embrace every couple’s eccentricities.
near Tallahassee, Florida, a correctional facility where horrendous abuses were committed against mostly black boys. The Nickel Boys is a fictionalized account of two boys who go through a similar but fictitious facility in the ‘60s called the Nickel Institute. The novel depicts the horrors of the institute and the lasting effects those experiences have on the boys’ lives as they try to move on and forget. Because of recent events, the story feels like part journalism, part fiction, and part social justice commentary. It comes together to create a powerful story of how people get swept up into a system of abuse because of the color of their skin. Mike

Some Places More Than Others is Renee Watson’s middle-grade debut and a wonderful read for both older kids, younger teens, and adults. Watson grew up in Oregon and moved to New York as an adult; her experiences in these two very different places play a significant role in her newest title. Amara Baker is turning 12 soon and wants nothing more for her birthday than to travel to New York with her dad on his next business trip so she can meet her father’s NY family for the first time. Her parents finally agree to let her accompany her dad on this trip, but she’s a little nervous as she’s learned that her father and his dad haven’t spoken in 12 years‌the same amount of time since she
was born and when her grandma passed away. This book is a love letter to Oregon, as well as to the beauty and black history of Harlem in New York. It’s a look at love, families, and how the power of words can bring understanding and harmony to even the most difficult of situations.

Corvallis’ Chintimini Wildlife Center
Dyami, our Bald Eagle ambassador , Claire Peterson
Garter snake
Since its founding in 1989, Chintimini Wildlife Center has provided support to native wildlife in the Willamette Valley. Chintimini was born out of humble beginnings - staffed by a handful of volunteers in the small barn of a rental property. Today, it operates on a 9.4-acre parcel just north of Corvallis. Activities at the Center are overseen by 6 employees and more than 120 weekly volunteers. More than 20,000 donated volunteer hours keep it running each year. In carrying out its mission of protecting wildlife, Chintimini provides educational outreach to the community with the goal of fostering connections between people and their environment. Chintimini is home to a team of non-releasable Raptor Ambassadors. These birds of prey are trained to participate in educational activities at the Center such as tours, presentations, and flight demonstrations. They also travel to off-site locations to reach broader audiences. In 2019, the birds traveled to meet groups in schools (K-12 through college-level), retirement communities, business and networking events, and correctional facilities. The aim of the program is to ensure that everyone can forge a connection with and understanding of the native wildlife in their community. This supports Chintimini’s long-term goal of preventing conflicts between humans and wildlife.

To address the more immediate needs of wildlife in need of assistance, Chintimini operates a wildlife hospital that admitted nearly 2,300 injured and orphaned wild animals in 2019 (and nearly 30,000 since its founding 30 years ago). Of these, about 70% are avian species including songbirds, raptors, and waterfowl. The remaining 30% are mostly mammals like bats, squirrels,

Marine Food Webs: Drifters to Swimmers Art Exhibit Open Now at LaSells Stewart Center's Giustina Gallery
Rebecca Welti
Esteban Camacho
This exhibit encourages dialog about the importance of sustaining and preserving our ocean food web—from the microscopic plankton to those that consume them. Bridging art to science, this exhibit will be a parallel show to a special collection by invited artists who participated in a National Science Foundation funded Artist-atSea Residency Program that worked with scientists from OSU Hatfield’s Plankton Lab and UO's Sutherland Lab aboard four oceanographic research cruises. The MEZCAL Artist at Sea Residency program Broadening scientific understanding of our natural world is increasingly important in this day and age of change. However, the effort to enhance awareness is not confined to nature but also includes the human dimensions of science and the people it serves. How is science conducted and what is going through the minds of scientists as they collect data? How does the human element shape the science that is done and the interpretation of observations? How do we observe, measure, and form conclusions about our natural world? Experimental programs like the MEZCAL Artist at Sea residency program are an effort to get at the intangible ‘something’ global that orbits the heart of curiosity and change in a person. Artists and scientists have a lot in common and yet are seen by society as lying at opposite ends of the professional spectrum. Stereotypically, we view scientists as rigid, narrow-bandwidth people working with facts, and artists as whimsical people working in the realm of feelings and indulgence. Both descriptions are flimsy caricatures far from reality.

Willamette Living Magazine February / March 2020

Professions that demand complex practice for mastery and also share similar rigorous requirements can find crossover points of understanding with very different professions. An engineer and a medical doctor can find common ground as diagnosticians. Architects and musicians can find common ground as practitioners who create spaces that reflect and support facets of the human experience. Those professionals can both delight in the shared ground and the great differences between them and discover something wonderful, affirming and expansive in that space. Likewise, artists and scientists share an insatiable curiosity of the world and the desire to say something about what they have discovered. Yet they rarely interact in professional spaces together. The MEZCAL project was designed to bring together these two groups during a series of major research cruises. The National Science Foundation funded four MEZCAL research cruises off the west coast of Oregon and California that included an Artist at Sea resident on each 10-day research voyage. Through this extensive opportunity for scientists and artists to work alongside each other, new levels of understanding of the process and products of these different professions have emerged, leading to a burgeoning awareness and appreciation of the natural world and the people who observe it.
Exhibit runs from February 3 to March 12, 2020. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The Giustina Gallery is located at 875 SW 26th St., Corvallis. In the OSU LaSells Stewart Center.

REAL ESTATE
PROFESSIONAL HELP: Tips from local leaders in their industry
Ask Annette
Chose the right lender! By Annette Sievert
T
he right (or wrong) lender can make or break the purchase of a property. Lots of buyers are looking for one thing and one thing only: low interest rates.
But there is so much more to closing a transaction and loan successfully and on time. First, there is a difference between a mortgage lender and a mortgage broker. A lender lends their own money, a broker matches a buyer with a lender and their specific loan programs. That also means that there could be different requirements for different lenders and a broker is not free to make decisions, they will always need to adhere to what a specific lender wants. A low rate will often mean higher fees or teaser rates. I have seen many transactions turn into a nightmare because of an obscure internet lender, luring people in with lowest rates, then coming up with weird requests and requirements, usually very late in the process, inevitably leading to delays or nasty surprises. Here is a good example: A lender told a buyer their closing cost would be $7000. The buyer negotiated repair credits against those closing costs for $7000 in good faith. At the closing table it turned out the true closing costs were only $3000. The $4000 difference went back to the seller and there is nothing that could be done, especially last minute. You want to work with a lender who has high integrity, is known in the community for closing their transactions on time and reliably with the terms agreed to in the beginning. You want a lender who will answer their phone on the weekend. That is when you most likely want to have your pre approval letter as you are looking for houses on Saturdays and Sundays. You want to work with a lender whose pre approval letters are worth their salt. Here is another example: A buyer was moving from another state and started looking for houses in the $500000 range, armed with a preapproval from some lender in the state they moved from. Red flags went up when the buyer told the broker that they were looking for new jobs here while they were looking for houses and
had already given notice at their former employment. You need to be employed and have income to get a loan... They were sent to an excellent local lender who looked at the situation, stating they could only buy for up to $265000 with the current numbers. Needless to say they decided to wait, get employment and ultimately bought the house they wanted. But just imagine if the real estate broker had relied on the existing pre approval letter, obviously not vetted well, and had gotten an accepted offer only to discover that the transaction was not viable, a catastrophe not only for the buyer but a huge disappointment and damage for the seller as well. My father, a real estate developer in Germany, had a wise saying: “if you want to have the last drop from the bottle, the lid will hit your nose” So look beyond the shiny teaser rates, don’t try to find the cheapest, try to find the best which will probably be cheaper in the long run and will make for a smooth transaction. Ask your local broker for recommendations and USE THEM! Happy Buying

Getting “2020 Vision” on Your Finances in The New Year
T
he start of the new year is a great time to focus on your finances and put them into perspective.
Competing demands on our time can often cloud our line of sight on what really matters. So, if you want a better handle on your finances, take these six foundational steps to get a better vision in 2020.
1. Review where you stand Begin by looking at your broad financial picture. This includes determining your net worth (assets you own minus liabilities or debts you owe). Identify whether you can cut costs in order to put more money to work toward your key financial goals. Also make sure you have a sufficient emergency fund that could cover at least three to six months of income.
2. Reassess your goals Determine if the goals you’ve established, such as education savings or retirement savings, are still appropriate based on your plans for the future. Are you on track
to achieve them? Can you find more dollars to put toward them?
3. Consider your debt and credit score If you haven’t checked your credit score lately, it’s a good idea to do so. Look at your current debts (auto loans, mortgages, student loans, etc.) to see if there are ways they can be paid down more quickly or if you could benefit by refinancing any loans.
4. Review your portfolio Investment markets have performed well for an extended period of time. Are you prepared for increased unpredictability in the markets? Make sure the risk reflected in your portfolio aligns with your risk profile. Consider rebalancing investments if your portfolio allocations have shifted due to varying performance for different assets.
5. Conduct a checkup of your protection strategy Now is a good time to review your

insurance policies to make sure you are properly covered. This includes everything from auto and home insurance to life insurance, disability income coverage and long-term care protection.
6. Solidify your estate plan Pay special attention to your estate planning needs. This is a concern regardless of your age and assets. Review your will to be sure that it is current and reflects your wishes for how your legacy will be carried out. If you don’t have a will, arrange to have one prepared. Consider whether trusts need to be in place or if those in place are up to date. Also review beneficiary designations on your financial accounts and insurance policies. In all of these matters and others, it can be helpful to sit down with your financial advisor to review where you stand and plot out your next steps for the year ahead.

Want to Upgrade Your Style? By Oscar B. Hult

First Friday, Photo by Brett Murphy
here are very few things in this world that will help you gain confidence and feel better about yourself than dressing better. It’s not about trying to impress others, it’s about respecting yourself.
Chances are they dress well. Look at the actors that care about the way they dress. George Clooney, Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig come to mind. They look sharp, period. That is no small part of the reason they got to be where they are.
If you respect yourself, others will find you to be worthy of their respect as well. People judge you every minute of every day. You may not believe it, but it’s true. You may not believe it’s important, but it is. The way you look, and the way you dress is your only true first impression. When you dress well, people act differently toward you. They’re more friendly and approachable. Dressing better opens doors. With potential employers. With potential dates. With front desk clerks, and airline representatives, waiters, and complete strangers. Think about some of the men you respect and look up to.
Dressing better makes you look and feel better… But where do you start? The first place to start is to make sure that the clothing you wear actually fits you correctly. Wearing clothes that fit better can make a huge difference in the way you look. Another way of saying this: MOST GUYS WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE WAY TOO BIG. That’s not to say you need to wear things that are super skinny and look like they are painted on, but rather to make sure you are dressing in clothing that actually fits you. Your haberdasher can help you find the fit that looks good on you, without

being restrictive. Of course, having your clothing tailored when needed will make a big difference. You will also want to look at the style that you want to project. Find someone that dresses the way you would like to and use their wardrobe as an example of how you want to grow your own. I personally look at Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods, and Hugh Bonneville as Lord Grantham on Downton Abbey. Again, your haberdasher should be able to help you weed through the items you have and help you find things you need to achieve the look you want. 2020 can be the year that you start dressing like the man you want to be, so that you can get the respect you deserve. Dress well, be confident, find success!

By Brenda Powell “The Pantone color of the year is Classic Blue, just a little darker than the color of your door,” my aunt said to me when she visited me in December. I’ve been following Pantone and its choices for over 10 years. Pantone’s color choices influence retail sales, interior design and marketing. This year I checked out Pantone’s color choices before they selected the color of the year, so I was honestly surprised when my aunt mentioned their top pick. The words Pantone used in describing Classic Blue: calm, dependable, sense of peace, tranquility, refuge. Boring, safe? I don’t think so. I love blue. Blue is a cool color and in the landscape, cool colors make small spaces appear larger. They sparkle in the shade. Blue reminds us of the sky and is a perfect choice for a meditation garden. Blue is especially good at attracting bees. Also, blue is the most uncommon color in the plant world. There are plants that can add blue to your landscape either in flowers or foliage. Another way to incorporate the color is to choose blue glazed pottery, paint furniture or a wall in the garden, or use blue glass. Following is a list of plants to consider to add the cool, tranquil color blue to your landscape. (See Key).
For the sun:
Salvia: A or P. Height varies. My faves are ‘May Night’ P and ‘Black & Blue’ A. DR. DT. Borage: Annual but reseeds. 2’ tall. Great pollinator attractor. Edible. Nepeta (Catmint): P. Many varieties from 1-3’ tall. DR. DT. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Leadwort). P. 9-12” tall. Fall blooms and red fall foliage. Caryopteris (Bluebeard): D. 3-4’ tall. Many varieties. DT. Blue needled conifers: Boulevard Cypress, Feeling Blue Deodar Cedar, Chamaecyparis ‘Blue Feathers’, Blue Spruce (dwarf to large), and Blue Star
Juniper. Most DR & DT. Delphinium: P. Many varieties from 2-7’. Needs good drainage and a humus soil. DR. Gentian ‘Holzmann’: P. 1-3” tall. Alpine plant that likes well-drained soil. Evovulus ‘Blue My Mind’: A. 6-12” tall. Prolific flowers, trailing habit, silver foliage. Amsonia hubricthii (Blue Star): P. 3’ tall. Powder blue flowers and feathery foliage. Ceanothus (California Lilac): E. 5-12’ tall. Small leaves, spring blooms. DT. Siberian Iris ‘Bennerup Blue’: P. 3-4’ tall. Blade-like foliage. Striking blooms. DR.
For the shade:
Brunnera (Siberian Blugloss): P. 12-15” tall. Forget-me-not like flowers over leaves with silver variegation. Several varieties with different degrees of variegation. DR.
GARDENING
Add Blue to Your Landscape
In The Garden
Dark blue star creeper: P. Matforming ground cover. Better behaved than the standard type. County Park is a nice selection. Will tolerate wetter soils. Hosta seiboldiana ‘Elegans’: P. Frosty blue, large , heart-shaped leaves. Camassia esculenta (Quamash): A bulb native to Oregon that grows in wetter areas. DT.
Key
(A) Annual: Grows one season then dies or isn’t hardy. Often reseeds. (P) Perennial: Lives from year to year but may die to ground over wint er. (D) Deciduous: woody shrub that loses its leaves in winter. (E) Evergreen: keeps leaves or needles all year. (DR): usually deer resistant. (DT): drought tolerant.

Maintaining Good Posture in the Digital Age By Kris Denning
T
he epidemic of “text neck” is affecting all humans immersed in the digital age. And it doesn’t just look bad and cause you to lose height. It creates neck and upper back pain, constricts breathing, and is said to increase cortisol (stress hormones), thereby slowing the metabolism. Bad posture can affect the entire body. And, since these devices aren’t going away, it is up to each of us to be mindful of our posture whenever possible and to know how to correct it. If you can, have someone take a full body picture of you from the side. Look at this photo and consider your plumb line. You should be able to draw a straight line connecting your ear, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. If you have this plumb line, great! If not, there are ways you can help to bring yourself back into proper alignment. With “text neck”, the ears will be jutted out forward of the shoulders and the upper back may be high and rounded. Looking down at your device creates a workload for the neck and upper back muscles that gets exponentially heavier as the angle of your gaze gets lower. Those muscles get so overly worked and tense from holding this unnatural position for so long, that they can create a hunchback. Holding your device in front of you causes your shoulders to rotate forward. This internal rotation of the shoulders causes the chest muscles to tighten, while it weakens the muscles of the midback
which we would normally be using to pull the shoulders back. To help lengthen and stretch the chest muscles, stand in an open doorway with your palms and elbows touching the doorframe and lean into that open space. When sitting or standing for long lengths of time, imagine someone pouring ice water down the center of your back. This will help to draw back your shoulders and contract the muscles of your mid back. Another great way to strengthen the muscles of the mid back while opening the shoulders is to practice the Yoga pose, “Locust”. To do this, lie face down on your stomach with your palms pressing against your thighs. Lift the chest and legs while drawing your shoulders back and down as if squeezing an orange between your shoulder blades. Scoop the neck in and lengthen through the top of your head. Hold position for several breaths, then rest. Practice this daily.
To help bring your body into its natural plum line, stand against the wall with your shoulders, back of your head, and hips touching the wall. If this causes your chin to lift, then scoop your neck inward and lift through the top of your head so that your chin is parallel with the floor. See if you can step away from the wall while maintaining this position. Practice this as often as you can so that your body gets used to the feel of proper alignment. Whether you’re driving, brushing your teeth, or working at your desk, be mindful of your body position; and take breaks from your device often! It took a long time to come into that fully upright position on the evolutionary chart! Let’s try not to regress.

- - Brow & Eyeliner
By Cheryl Lohman

Pink Lips – Red lip color has been popular for several years. Now a really bright pink is starting to emerge as a favorite. Try a hot pink with blue undertones. Using a matte lipstick will have a little more staying power than a creamy one. Floating Eyeliner – This is an interesting trend. Instead of having eyeliner just on the lash line, we are seeing �floating� eyeliner. Eyeliner is placed on the eyelid just above the crease above the lash line. It’s especially dramatic when it’s a bright neon or pastel color.

Neon – While the neon colors have been around for a while, there is a minimalist trend happening with them. For example, using just a hint of neon eyeshadow in the corners of the eye instead of over the whole eyelid.

Structured Brows - Bushy, unkempt brows of years past are giving way to a structured strong and polished look. Using clear gels, hairs are groomed into place giving a groomed polished look. Pink Blush all over – A bright pink blush isn’t just for your cheeks. This trend is seeing the blush all over. Blush is placed under the eyebrow bone, temples, and forehead in addition to the cheeks. Using the same color all over gives a dramatic look. While the trends can be fascinating and possibly desirable, one would never want to have them applied with permanent makeup. Permanent Makeup is best suited to create a classic natural look. That way you have a base look that is always flattering and then you can apply topical makeup to follow the trends if you want. Most of the bad looking permanent makeup is when someone ventured too far into a trend. Many women don’t think permanent makeup is for them or they don’t know what to look for. Permanent makeup is customized and personalized to each persons desired look. A qualified permanent makeup artist can show you photos of their work and take the time to answer your questions. Have fun with the trends if you decide to try them!
